In this special holiday themed class, students will learn how to construct a collagraph plate, making use of various textures and techniques. They will also learn how to properly ink their plate and roll it through our printing press! Our theme is "a holiday scene," which could be a cozy indoor scene by the fire or a snowy nature scene, a snowman, or a Christmas tree. Students will make multiple prints, donating one to the center for our holiday display in the lobby. Their work will be up from mid-November until early January for everyone at the center to enjoy!
Instructor
Art educator Jen Johnson holds an undergraduate degree in art history and English literature from the University of Kansas, as well as an MAT (Masters in the Art of Teaching) from the English Department at the University of Montana. In her own practice, Jen is equally invested in understanding the larger world through her interactions with the art objects of others and the making of her own art objects. Jen considers her greatest strengths as an educator to be the facilitation of reflective and critical conversations about art and art making, as well as the creation of safe environments for authentic explorations into the practices of self-expression and making. Her preferred mediums are mixed media, printmaking, and photography, but she enjoys the act of creation no matter the medium and considers it one of her greatest joys to make art alongside others.
